We have several major social media banned here, and they're still popular. All a ban would do would be teaching people what VPNs are... As well as exposing a lot of them to malware, because most people would not be doing research and instead of legitimate, charity-run free censorship evasion tools, they'd be using shady apps from the top of Play Store search results.

If the ban comes from "up top", people's desire to use it will not suddenly disappear. If the people decide to leave en masse on their own - now that'd make an impact.

On a related note: does anybody think that Nostr will ever gain real traction? Promising project, I try it again every other month but it's still pretty rough...

Also: the fact that Dorsey has funded it and is a fan concerns me.
